The True Story of the Buddy Holly Plane Crash

The plane crash that changed the course, not just of Music History but arguably of the United States of America. The Day the Music Died is about so much more than just Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and JP Richardson (aka the "Big Bopper"). In a lot of ways, it's about the loss of innocence in America as the nation would soon be faced with a Presidential Assassination, a Vietnam War, and more. Don McLean's song American Pie was written about this tragic day that a beachcraft bonanza charter plane killed these three young musicians. But what is the full story behind that fateful day on February 3rd, 1959? Join me on this episode of ROOTS as we dig up the events that led up to the plane crash, and the most chilling detail of all (in my opinion) about Tommy Allsup's wallet and the spirit of Buddy Holly making his presence known over 20 years later...(you don't want to miss that chilling detail so be sure to watch until the end). 🎶🎶🎶🎶***ANNOUNCEMENT*** I had some issues with my fulfillment manager on the Divine Music Intervention Mugs that I was selling.
